In our February blog, we wrote of our search for a local charity to become our Charity of the Year 2017. As a local, independent business, it is fundamental to us that we try to give back and help the community that we operate in. After the very challenging job of shortlisting three extremely worthy causes, we left the final decision down to our customers and blimmey, it was a close-run thing…….

B30 Foodbank – 31%

Parks for Play – 29%

Anawim – 40%

The people have spoken! Anawim, a local centre that provides family support services to local women and their children, will be our charity for 2017 as voted for by our customers. We are very, very proud to be supporting them with their work helping the people of Kings Heath and the surrounding area.

Over the coming year, we will be working in partnership to develop a series of events and activities to raise money and awareness for Anawim. Being a cycle café, of course at least one of these would have to be a cycle challenge so GCHQ has partnered with European Cycling Tours, to offer a lucky few the opportunity to complete the iconic and utterly fabulous, London to Paris cycle ride.
